Don't hang onto them for a dog bed. My vet has seen more dogs' stomachs in tangles due to playing with socks. If they stuff a bed, there's a chance a dog will chew through at a shelter. I say donate them to Goodwill. They send them to third world countries, from my understanding. I was never so relieved as when I finally gave away a huge trash bag full of loner socks. The real estate they had taken up in my bedroom was ridiculous. I need to do it again. They "mate" and then they separate somewhere when they're tired of each other!
